A breakthrough material for prosthetic limb liners

Researchers at Imperial College London have developed ‘Roliner,’ a breakthrough material for prosthetic limb liners. Amputees can use a smartphone to adjust the material’s shape, volume, and stiffness in real-time, ensuring a more comfortable and personalized fit. This innovation could prevent painful issues like blisters and sores caused by poorly fitting prosthetics, often forcing some individuals to revert to wheelchairs. Dr. Firat Guder and Dr. Uğur Tanriverdi have emphasized Roliner’s groundbreaking potential in addressing the challenges faced by amputees. Traditional prosthetic limbs often become uncomfortable due to their rigid and unresponsive design, which cannot adapt to the body’s natural changes Read Full Article At: A breakthrough material for prosthetic limb liners
